TomV304 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 22 hours ago, GolfSpy STUDque said: There’s some irony when contemplating the market for watches in 2020. Specifically, it’s a situation where the original purpose of the item is no longer a defining selling point. Remember when the primary, if not the only, purpose of a watch was to keep time? Me neither. It’s a reasonable assumption that time is anything but of the essence; golfers are far more interested in all of the golf-related stuff that this piece of wearable technology does. The SkyCaddie LX5 GPS watch is built around the architecture of the SX500, which was named the “Best Handheld GPS” in MyGolfSpy’s annual Most Wanted testing. It offers an abundance of bundled golf technology, and did I mention it also tells time. Ain’t that something? TESTERS WANTED This review opportunity is open to members residing in the United States. If you'd like to be considered, please reply to this thread with the following information: Name and Location Tom Vance, Gerrardstown, WV Have you ever used a GPS device or watch? Which one(s)?

DHill Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 9.5 index play on a Tillinghast course. Course is quite hilly as such I use a handheld scope with elevation. I actually have been looking to buy a watch but haven’t found one that I completely like and is equal to the handheld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sowa Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Steve Sowa. .Pittsburgh PA Presently using a Bushnell Neo for yardage determining. I'm your basic public course golfer and would be excited to try something that supplies more details than my Neo. I've never been a product tester and would be happy to try one.

stevepona@gmail.com Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Steve Pona - St. Louis, MO I have used cart GPS and a variety of apps when playing with friends; iPhone and watches I have been old school - yardage plates / sprinklers and eyes I've been playing more inter-club matches and have been severely handicapped because many courses are NOT marked well. I have been contemplating buying a watch. This brand/model would be on my short list. Thanks for the consideration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy R. Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Andy Renger in San Diego. I use a Garmin S10 watch every time I okay - it’s what I use to determine yardage. I’d love to be a tester as long as this watch works outside of the fairways! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
